How Deep Can Arizona DBacks Go In The Playoffs?

[Ace_of_Spades]

LMAO @ the Giants, but are the DBacks any decent? Can they make some noise in the playoffs?

[pavyracer]

Will be taken out in the first round by Phillies unless hell freezes over.

[doublej95]

they want make the NLCS

[Killer_Demo]

LMAO @ the Giants

your one to talk...the ducks and their new jerseys got stomped out last night

[ApricotSinner32]

Phillies will beat them barring injuries.

[Ace_of_Spades]

And??

[dfberger23]

If they could get the two seed then I could see them beating the Braves but I doubt that will happen.

The Braves swept them at home and they only scored 4 runs in 3 games. How many beers did you have so far?

[downsouth]

If by some chance they manage to get a 2 seed they may (big emphasis on may) have a shot vs Atlanta as it appears the braves are currently falling apart health wise in their pitching staff as Hanson and Jurrgens may be done for year.

However, playing Philly I think there gone in five games.

Braves #1 & #2 pitchers in rotation are healthy (Lowe, Hudson). Then you have Beachy move up to pitch 3rd game and Delgado to pitch 4th game. Then you come back with Lowe and Hudson and take them out if the series is not over by then.

I would take the Braves in that series, just saying they would have a chance.

Glad no one likes zona. No one sf last year either. Upsets always happen. Zona is a good team.

[Naz18]

Like always in baseball, it's all about which team is hot...

[pavyracer]

Glad no one likes zona. No one sf last year either. Upsets always happen. Zona is a good team.

Then how did they got swept by both Phillies and Braves on the road?

[HoulihansTX]

Good luck betting the playoffs.... just bet them in a future, and call it a day.

[obamaismyuncle]

This. Anything can happen.

[neverstoppers23]

I think they get swept in the first round by the Phils. I don't see Zona catching up to Milwaukee.
Zona relays way to much on the home run, the are last in the majors in sac hits. Their bullpen is eh, not great, not terrible. There starting pitching has been great as of late, but I mean come on, they are playing a triple A offense.

[thirtytwo]

I hope Dbacks send Scott Cousins a good appreciation present for their first place.
As for playoffs, swept and embarassed by whoever plays them in NLDS.

[face]

diamondbacks have even record vs. phil 3-3 this year.

[lakerboy]

Reg season means nothing and they beat halladay a few weeks ago. Last year mostly everyone was picking phils and yanks to meet. Things don't always go according to plan.

[neverstoppers23]

LOL, at you comparing them to San Fran because no one 'likes' them. San Fran had great starting pitching last year, and had a pure ace in Timmy. San Fran has good pitching, from pitchers having career years.
San Fran got clutch hits, and played small ball got sac hits, and worked out runs.
Zona, relays on the home run to score, and are last in the majors in sac hits.

Also, if you want to dispute that, they are going to face the Phils, with the best collection of pitching ever. Its a 5 game series, so anything can happen, but I will take Roy Halladay in game 1 vs. you, and 99/100 he is going to eat you alive.

GL in the playoffs, but I see them being swept as I stated before. When they first over took the giants and won 7 staright, it was a couple weeks ago. They were putting up average numbers of 3.7 ERA and just average runs scored.

Then you went on this amazing streak, and your pitching was great playing a terrible offense team in the giants, and a bad offensive team in the Nats.

I don't see any super star players that are going to carry them in the playoffs, and Ian Snell really? That is your Ace.

Also something has got to break with your "great pitching" since the all star break you are 4th overall worst in Component ERA Ratio with a score of 107.

(Texas leads it with 86 overall score)
Milwaukee leads the NL with an overall score of 92.

[neverstoppers23]

San Fran had GREAT pitching, with Timmy and Cain , and Brain Wilson was at his best last year.
Not to mention as stated before they got clutch hits are were fundamentally sound, something Arizona is not at all. So I don't get why you guys are saying it was a huge shock for San Fran to beat the Phils. They had 92 wins overall the Phils had 97. Yes surprises happen in the playoffs, but this would be a HuGE shock to see them go deep in the playoffs.

Also go look at their september last year San Fran had, 50 RA, and 97 RS. +47, only 1 behind Phils with a +48 who's offense was stellar with 142 RS and 95 RA.

Great pitching always beats good-great offenses in October.

Anyways I don't know why I spent so much time on this topic, so that is all.

Thats excellent break down, but Ian Snell? Did you mean Ian Kennedy?
Snell is probably trying to beat crack patrol somewhere in Tijuana as we speak.

[lakerboy]

I like people look back and tell us how those giants had great pitching etc meanwhile they were betting on the phils all the way. I rode the giants last year. Arizona isn't a great team and would be very hard pressed to win a series but that's why they play the games. Don't forget the phils offense isn't as good as it is advertised. Go and look at the stats more carefully.

[SportGTI]

Can Arizona win the world series? Can Arizona beat the vaunted Phillies? I believe they can, but it isn't likely.

Arizona has a few solid starters at the top of the rotation in Kennedy and Hudson. They're not Halladay, Lee, and Hamels, but I see both being able to keep the Diamondbacks in most games. Yes, Arizona doesn't score a lot of runs, but offenses can become hot/cold very quickly.

I wouldn't believe strongly in picking the Dbacks over the Phillies in the first round, but I think it would be an interesting series.

[lakerboy]

Hudson and kennedy are solid. Teams like the braves and phils will have a hard time if they are trailing late in the game . The brewers are the team to beat imo. Solid pitching and good bats.

Braves and Phillies have the best bullpen in the NL. I'm pretty sure they are licking their chops knowing they will face Arizona. It will be Phillies/Braves in the NLCS.

Okay pavy. I would take mil over atl all day.

Go lose your money. Books love squares.

[obamaismyuncle]

Atlanta hasn't got a shot, Milwaukee will drub them in the first round. Will be a blood bath. And it is true, hardly nobody gave the Giants a chance in hell of beating the Phillies last year. Anything can happen, anything.

[lakerboy]

Go lose your money. Books love squares.

I agree I'm square. I have mil to win the pennant at +900. I have atl at +605. Tell me what mil is now and what atl is.

Its okay I will give you the answer. Atl is still the same. Mil is around +500. I guess I made a bad move on atl.

[BRAVES1985]

phils will prolly sweep the d backs

braves and brewers will go the distance

[JuniorAnalyst]

an NL team will win the world series. Dbacks/Milwaukee/Braves 1 of those 3

[Mr KLC]

Phillies sweep them

[astrodomer]

unless they bring back the big unit and Curt in their prime.....the snakes have no bite!!
